Okay, maybe not idiots. But when I watch the reality shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta or Beverly Hills, where mistresses who can’t sing have hit records, or ladies who haven’t worked a day in their lives expect huge settlements from ex-husbands, or gorgeous women with four children want a fifth to fill their prosperous lives…well, it irks me.

Because some days, I don’t feel entitled to a tee-shirt from Forever 21.

And when I buy it anyway, the guilt gets me in the middle of the night.

So why do others feel as though they deserve the wealth, the plastic surgery, the jewels and the parties?

Did their fathers love them more than mine?

Were they treated like princesses the day they were born?

We may never know. But treat your hair royally with revolutionary hair color, the Geo Palette…riches for

the holidays that will follow you into the winter months, that will garner a bounty of compliments!

You’re entitled. And so am I.  JC

Here at Bewitched, we want to protect and beautify our clients. Recently, a lovely lady was scammed by a crying boy, her supposed grandson, on the telephone, imploring first his grandfather and then his grandmother, to wire him $3000 to get him out of a jam in Spain. “Don’t tell my parents,” he begged them.

And they didn’t. The young man gave grandma the phone number for the “Spanish Consulate”, except that it was a continuation of the scam. It seems that the consulate needed another $3000 for the “boy’s” trial and airfare home. Our client wired the money.

A sobbiing young man can render any no-nonsense person emotionally vulnerable. It can also hide the timbre of his real voice.

We told our client to forgive herself. No one had died. Only her ego and her pocket were damaged. She couldn’t fault herself for loving someone.

Here at Bewitched, the flagship salon for the Geo Palette, we’re here for you. We give out tissues, condolences, and tender loving care in the form of great hair color.

Tissues and compliments are free, (and bagels on Fridays and Saturdays!)  JC

Okay ladies. Some of you can sing, some of you can dance, some of you know how to diet…(how else do you keep that thin?)

But with all your accomplishments, do you really need to look like a cartoon character…Jessica Rabbit to be exact…to please your rock star husbands? And why do you pitch your voices higher than their normal register into a little girl goo goo ga dialect that makes me squirm?

I admire you, I really do. The road is tough, however well-heeled it may be. But what measures will you have to take to stay youthful, thin, curvaceous, wrinkle-free, so that your husbands won’t trade you in for a younger model? Freeze yourselves?

I hope I’m wrong, and that they want to grow old with you. That they’ll caress the wrinkles that grace your face, and not cry out for more botox and face lifts at the young age of 30. That they’ll rebuff the advances of nubile groupies who trade favors for fame. That they’ll reward your endurance with kindness and monogamy.

But the entertainment industry ranks high in divorce, and society wants your boys to stay young and bold and virile, with a girl on each arm.

So stay strong. Lower your register. And reward yourself with the Geo Palette, revolutionary color that your husbands will love. More important, you will.

Keeping up with fashion can be hard on the pocket…so start small, with a fun accessory from Forever 21 or Mandee’s…(yes, you can be over thirty, and it will cost you under ten!)

Right now I’m sporting a chunky eight dollar wristlet in fake gold. Fabulous!

Or drag out some of your old discarded wear…today, I’m clad in tights with flowers on them, circa 1980. My sweater is beaded (circa 1940), with a Saks label in it, courtesy of Grandma Rebecca, G-d rest her fashion loving soul.

People will notice, even if it’s just the thrift shop or your own closet that you’ve raided.

Hair color, on the other hand, is another matter. Celebrate your own uniqueness with our revolutionary color, the Geo Palette. You won’t find it in a thrift shop, at a discount salon, or in your closet.

Re-invent yourself with fabulous brand-new color, an edgy cut, or both, at Bewitched Salon, 956 Broadway, Fresh Meadows, NY. 516 374-1490

Results can be seen at Geo Palette on Facebook or at www.geopalette.com.

Eyebrows will raise. Compliments will follow.

Here at Bewitched Salon, the compliment is king…(or queen, for that matter.)

But when a client told me, “You’ve lost weight, haven’t you?”, what did I think? That I must have looked fat before.

The next day, decked out in my new (and very expensive) foundation and concealer, a client commented,

“You’re wearing new makeup! It looks better than that white stuff you usually wear.”

Now, had I known that I was looking like a cosmetic ghost, would I have wanted her to tell me? Possibly not.

The lethal compliment can be tricky.

Okay, there’s more. Last night, a friend remarked, “I love that lipstick you’re wearing! That red color you wore the other day was awful.”

Who asked you?

In life, we know that sugar gets us so much further than vinegar.

So the next time I get a double whammy of a compliment, I’ll do one of two things. I’ll recite my mantra of peace on earth, silently. Or I’ll swear like a sailor, inside my head.

Here at Bewitched, we are the flagship salon for cutting edge color called the Geo Palette. Go to www.geopalette.com and see what we’re doing. Our clients leave with gorgeous color and get unsolicited compliments that are as pure as snow.

Peace on earth, for sure. No muttering under the breath whatsoever. And hurrah for fabulous, revolutionary color. 516 374-1490 to schedule an appointment.

We had a new client come into Bewitched today, and she wasn’t popular. She glowered at the shampoo person, and wasn’t much nicer to the manicurist. But when she walked toward me, she glided, so gracefully, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I told her so, and she lit up, her smile my reward.
After that, she was sweeter to everyone.
From now on, if I THINK it, I say it. I might make someone’s day, and in the process, she might make our day better.
Come in and get our Geo Palette, color sweeter than anyone’s…brighter, more cutting edge OR subtle, gorgeous, revolutionary.
Call us at 516 374-1490 for an appointment, or check out www.geopalette for results.
Compliments will flow, unbidden.
You won’t feel grouchy any more.

Here at Bewitched, we love to look good.  But can we be a teeny bit masochistic when it comes to fashion?

Let’s take tight pants…by the end of a long work day, they start to chafe. Enough said.

How about high heels? Some of us bring three pairs to work…killers to begin with, lower heels a few hours later, and flats or wedges towards the end of the day. Not sexy, but life takes over.

Spandex tummy control garments…wear them for hours and we feel like we just might expode.

Belts snuggly cinched at the waist? See how you like it after lunch, girls.

Dangly earrings and big neck scarves? Feeling scratched by fabric or swinging faux gems can be a fashion hazard.

Will we give up fashion to ease the pain? Not yet, not now…maybe not ever.

Or come to Bewitched and get the Geo Palette…fabulous hair and color design, pain-free and pleasureful! See our results at www.geopalette.com

Or come in for the Three-tiered Transformation for difficult hair!
Either way, call us at 516 374-1490 to make an appointment. No pain involved. Only compliments to follow..

Okay, here at Bewitched we like being on the cutting edge of style…we are the flagship salon for the Geo Palette Cut/Color System, after all.

So when I read about the dark smokey eye, I had to try it. We have three wonderful makeup artists here at the shop, but I did my eyes at home.

My daughter was the first to notice. “Is that a black eye?” she asked me, over toast and coffee.

The man behind the counter at the bagel shop looked alarmed. “Is your boyfriend beating you?”

Some eye makeup remover wiped away my supposed beating, and I’m back to a bare eye with mascara and liner…until Alice or Nichole or Eyeleen are available. After all, I have a reputation to uphold, and two black eyes aren’t good for my image.

My hair color, however, created by George and his revolutionary Geo Palette Hair System, is very good for my image. I get tons of compliments, and if you call us at Bewitched Salon for an appointment, you’ll love it, too. 516 374-1490

Or have a look-see at www.geopalette.com for our fabulous results.

Don’t ask me for a smokey eye, though. The coffee and compliments are on the house.
